Was Usher Paid For Super Bowl 2024 Show?

Usher will not receive any payment for performing at the Super Bowl halftime show in 2024. It is the NFL's policy to not pay artists, as stated by spokesperson Joanna Hunter in a 2016 interview with Forbes. Hunter clarified that the NFL covers only the expenses and costs related to the production.

The halftime show is being hosted by Apple Music, but it's unknown if Usher received extra payment from them. So far, there haven't been any reports indicating one way or the other.

If you're curious about why a performer would put on a free concert, it's because it provides unparalleled exposure. Just last year, when the Chiefs triumphed over the Eagles at the Super Bowl, a staggering 114.2 million people were glued to their screens.

That's an enormous audience, and with Taylor Swift attending to support her boyfriend Travis Kelce, it's probable that this year's sporting event will break a new record in number of viewers.

The tickets for the talented artist's concerts will be available for purchase by the public starting from Super Bowl Monday, and it's predicted that they will sell out fast.

Rihanna experienced a surge in her Spotify streams during Super Bowl Sunday last year, following her stunning performance with her dancers. Hence, if you intend to see Usher perform live, act fast and secure your tickets, as a similar trend may occur.

What's The Pay For Super Bowl Halftime Artists?

In the past, musical performers participating in the Super Bowl halftime show did not earn any money. The NFL would handle all expenses related to their presentation and production, but did not compensate the artists financially.

The set of The Weeknd was extremely expensive, with Forbes estimating its cost to be as high as $20 million. As for Usher's set, there's no information available yet about its cost, but we can safely assume that it wasn't inexpensive.
